Looks good to me.

Interesting. I wonder why github doesn't have that yet ;-) I'd go ahead with it, file some requests, get github's attention, let's see what happens

gr2m commented 11 years ago

btw I don't think I have to make it that bold that it's not about bashing github, the positive aspects stand for themselves. "bashing" and "pissed" give a somewhat bad sound to a project that is all about constructive feedback

Thanks a lot @gr2m, @janl! I've removed the "What this is not about" section and added a "Create a Spike" section.

Do we might run into Copyright issues if we save their Website to disk, modify it and then upload it again here (guess they wouldn't mind us doing this but still maybe worth thinking about)?

Why not making bookmarklets / user scripts to hack the actual website directly? I did things like that a few times, works quite semlessly and could make a great community project, as together we can keep up with github's changes quite fast to adjust the respective user scripts.

Not sure if this works always. E.g. I want to create a spike where the first time the user commits to a project he has to checkmark a License Agreement, where the licsense of the project is determined from the package.json file. This is easy to be done by downloading the page and change the markup. But maybe it's just about creating a tool that lets you change sites more easily and create a bookmark from it - let me think about it!

don't think too much, make a few examples, no matter whether they work or not, or how they look.
